    Sounds like Alternator alright - if you have access to a multi-meter then start it and check voltage at batter terminals with a few things turned on like lights and radio if alternator is ok you should be getting a steady 14 + plus volts.If not then Alternator or alternator belt is on the fritz.

    On the fords its often a broken wire coming from the alternator that causes this fault.
